So, have you seen Episode 11 of eS? Reidora's Emblem Charge Shot is the Shining Crash, and his B-Der is an agent of the Grand B-Master. That self-same B-Der had also defeated Kagero at point before.

Are you sure it's Shining 'Crash'? I think I understood 'Flash' but I guess we'll just have to pay attention to it the next time.
The B-Daman's name is Kreis=Raydra (the wbba finally posted about it a few days ago )
And the boy's name is Shiranui Byakuga (Japanese order) and he's, as Chaos' said before, the B-Master of the west.. so it does kinda make sense that he works for the Grand B-Master.

@ SoulPudelik: He's a B-Master!? Wow, that's a shock! And what do you think the Grand B-Master is trying to achieve?

The Emblem Charge Shots by far

Drive=Garuburn: Burning Overdrive
Cannon Drive=Garuburn: Erupting Overdrive
Slot=Beedle: Sniper Heavy Needle
Sonic=Dravise: Speed of Sound Hurricane
Gun-Lock=Wolg: Hungry Wolf Gale Bullet
Kreis=Raydra: Shining Giga Flash
Across=Eagle: Arrow Wing Shot

EDIT: It's acutally Hungry Wolf Gale Bullet.
EDIT 2: the new Eagle's Core is named Across, not Cross as I had assumed.

I was watching Episode 14 of eS, and things took a rather frightening turn where Kamon gets consumed with anger for Kagero's loss to Byakuga, the whites of his eyes turning black, and a dark aura appearing around his being. Plus, he gets a vision in his mind of the Grand B-Master either tempting him to give into his anger or at least mocking him. Garuburn took matters into his own talons, and snapped Kamon out of it.

I personally have to say, the visuals in the past two episodes have been amazing. Above par compared anything we've seen in the series so far.

I absolutely agree with you! I've always liked the style and the animation itself but it seems like the producers have improved a lot.
Everything seems to be far more balanced than before.

You guys pay too much attention to the improved visual, what about the plotline? I mean, Kamon lost control of his emotions, and Garuburn had to snap him out of it. Don't get me wrong, the animation looks cool!

Well, of course I payed attention to that, too, but there's nothing we could really say right now.
I think Ryouma said something about a little brother at one point, referring to Kamon, when he was talking to Byakuga... (yeah that has been said in a few episodes before too, oh xD)
I guess Byakuga is jealous or so because he idolizes Ryouma? Just a guess though.
Kamon lost control of his emotions because he 'remembered' how he lost against Ryouma... yeah..
But there's not really much to talk about.
Cross Fight got cancelled by Byakuga since he's won.
Now we'll just have to wait hm.

@ SouPudeliK: Ryouma is the name of the Grand B-Master, eh? So, what do you think Ryouma is trying to achieve by having Byakuga cancel the Cross Fight? Is the former none too fond of the WBMA, believing himself to be above it since he is the most talented B-Der in Crest Land?

So, anyone seen Episode 15 of Cross Fight B-Daman eS? Kamon and Garuburn meets Kakeru and Dracyan. Not only that, but Basara returns with Stream=Drazeros, with which he practically destroyed a set of dragon targets in a test-fire. In episode 16, Mitsuru goes up against Basara, and most likely lost to him.

I've just seen Episode 16, and boy did Mitsuru get his butt kicked by Basara and his new Drazeros, big time!

Oh, and I'm watching the sub of Episode 06. Not only that, but it seemed that Garuburn knew of Mitsuru's intention of stealing him. Not only that, but Ryouma is actually Kamon's older brother like SouPudelik said. Kamon was apparently the Southern B-Master before losing his memories, most likely in a losing battle against Ryouma.

Now I get it, Kamon lost against Ryouma and was exiled from his B-Master position and losing his memories of B-Daman and most of his family members except Aona. From what I could make out, Kamon didn't like the way the Road Fight rules encouraged B-Ders to bully each other, so he confronted Ryouma over the issue and lost.

Geez, Kamon's got family issues! His older brother is the most powerful B-Der in Crest Land and encourage B-Ders to make their losing opponents do things for them, Aona wasn't initially keen on having her younger brother play B-Daman but warmed up to it (one issue down), and Gogyo is keeping it a secret from him that he's his dad.

@ ~Mana!: Couldn't have done it without the Episodes subbed by D NES on YouTube!

Ah, you mean the "BeTheMan" group? I was working with them at one point, but circimstances changed (my laptop broke -.-) and they became busy with exams. If you haven't already, check out their site.

@ ~Mana~: That's who I meant. Anyways, what do you think of the whole thing between Kamon and Ryouma?

Completely shocking. Kamon's backstory actually just gets better and better as the series progresses. I need to rewatch all the episodes so far to kinda get the main idea though, as I haven't updated the Wiki at all since November xD

It's quite clear though that the final battle will be Kamon vs Ryoma; they won't leave it without that happening. Yet, I can't help but admit, if that battle does happen, I'd like to see Kamon lose on purpose for Ryoma's sake.

@ ~Mana~: Did you forget? Kamon wasn't exactly tolerant of how Ryouma devised the rules for the Road Fight, or the Bad Law as it was called, and I doubt that he would lose on purpose against his older brother for his sake. After all, Kamon hates it when people pick on each other, and is more steamed at Ryouma for encouraging it.

I'm not saying it would happen, I'm saying I think it would be nice to see; Ryoma accepting that the Bad Law is immoral and the two brothers finally getting along. It sounds boring, but it would make a nice "coming of age" plotline.

@ ~Mana~: Right then. Anyways, what do you think possessed Ryouma to devise the law of the Road Fight?

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. This anime sounds complex, quack!

SouPudelik has convinced me to start watching this when the English dub is released, but I don't know if I'll be able to wait until then. I dunno. We'll see. This anime sounds very interesting!

So, the B-Damans are... kinda like Bakugans...? I'm kinda confused here. What exactly are they?

---

@ Duck: You must be talking about the B-Animals. In case you don't know, B-Animals are the spirit beasts that inhabit the B-Daman of the world of Cross Fight B-Daman, and provide power to the Charge Shots and Emblem Charge Shots. Plus, B-Animals can talk to their human partners through their B-Daman bodies.

This is a little out of the blue, but does anyone actually understand what 'Raydra' means? I know that the Kreis core refers to the fact that the opening at the front is circular (Kreis is German for circle) but I'm contemplating on what the latter means...

'Ray' as in beam or laser? Maybe a play on 'Rai' somehow, meaning 'lightning'? And what about the '-dra' part? He's not a dragon. It's a stretch, but maybe 'ra' like 'tora', as in Japanese for tiger?

Just crossed my mind. If anyone knows the real answer, feel free to correct me.

...Well, I obviously know nothing. I haven't watched even a single second of the anime, I know nothing about the merchandise, and it's not like Soup to give spoilers. :\

I think I understand a bit now, though. Thanks, quack.

@ Duck: No problem. Oh, and they didn't show any preview for Episode 17!

You're right~ I think it was mentioned in one of the WBMA's posts. Yep the Ray part is meant as flash/beam/lightning etc. and dra is for 'tora'.

They called its core 'Kreis' because of the original 'Round'=Tigare (I'm just stating the obvious but ...)
